Tatuaje Havana VI Verocú Blue to Debut at PCA 2022

At next month’s PCA Convention & Trade Show, Tatuaje will be showing off a new extension to its Verocú line, the Tatuaje Havana VI Verocú Blue.

Through posts on social media, the company revealed that the cigar is a Nicaraguan puro and will seemingly use a corojo 99 shade grown rosado wrapper. The company called the tobacco “100% family grown,” which would seem to refer to the Garcia family of My Father Cigars fame.

Two vitolas have been announced, the Tatuaje Havana Vi Verocú Blue No.1, a 6 1/4 x 52 toro, and the Tatuaje Havana Vi Verocú Blue No.2, a 5 1/2 x 54 robusto gordo. Pete Johnson has not disclosed other details about the release, including pricing and when it will ship to stores.

The Tatuaje Verocú line debuted in 2007 as a stronger version of the company’s Havana VI line, using an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan double binder and filler. A regular production size, the 4 x 40 Verocú No.5, was added in 2010, with five more sizes added in July 2015.

Update — Shortly after this story was published, the name of the cigar was updated to the Tatuaje Havana VI Verocú Blue per clarification from Pete Johnson.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
